I'm not pretending in regards to anything. I understand the nuance involved in separating responsibility from accountability. You view my words or intent as somehow insidious because I choose to realize that all actions have consequences. The penalty surely outweighs the mistake in this instance, but to absolve Ms.…

Thanks, Dad. I read it, and indeed I agree with the sentiment. But it smacks of idealism, and doesn't take into account any personal accountability. It's letting a lapse in common sense off the hook, due to assuming that just because Ms. Jones is a black woman, she's already somehow a victim. As a man of color,…

Hell, yes! See, you're getting it.

Yes, as in take some "responsibility" for your part. If I leave my keys in the car, and my car is subsequently stolen, is it my FAULT the car was taken? Absolutely not. I am in this instance ACCOUNTABLE for my part in my car being stolen, however. That's all I'm saying here.

*sigh* Accountability. Not responsibility. Today is commanded by the willingly obtuse…

Congrats on your upvotes.

"…you're just holding her personally accountable!" For holding onto private materials in a potentially public domain? Yeah, I do. Got to be smarter than that, these days, especially with vipers that seek such ammunition.

No. This is civil discourse, and I stand behind this position.

Fault = "responsibility for an accident or misfortune."

If only this were more common belief. But, let's be real. That's not the way the world currently works.

I'm sure there's a salient point here somewhere, but perhaps your need to comment so quickly precluded you from thinking out an appropriate context.

Whose blaming the victim? It's not her fault she was hacked. It's simply common sense not to keep materials you don't want public in hackable locations. Whomever did this is a terrible fucking person, but have we reached the day when NO ONE is personally accountable for things that could be prevented?

Friends, listen. Never, ever, EVER keep naked photos of yourself in your phone, hard drive or cloud. First, why do you need them? Secondly, the only people that want to see them are likely those that wish to destroy you with them.

"Perhaps AVC writers know better than to keep poking at a gaping wound."

Nah. Just the comments that insist that's the case.

M.O.D.O.K?
